‘It was pandemonium’
Anderson Cooper was punched in the face today. In Egypt. And while this may first strike you as a little comedic, it also serves as a reminder that these protests are getting increasingly violent. And Anderson — we forgive you for that whole “a website called the National Post” thing. http://natpo.st/gv55Gg

If you were too busy screaming/crying/fainting/dying during Tuesday’s televised Justin Bieber press conference, you are just in luck. Our very own Steve Murray was there, and he even stole Justin Bieber’s name-card from the event. AND shared a somewhat creepy moment. Yes. You want to click. http://natpo.st/dTo7ES
